JULIUS J AEGER, OF RUTHERFORD, NFNV JERSEY.

INSECT-POWDER EJ ECTOR.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 311,004, dated January20, 1885.

(No model.)

To aZZ whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, J ULrUs J AEGER, a citizen of the United States,residing at Rutherford, in the county of Bergen and State of New Jersey,have invented new and useful Improve ments in Insect-Powder Ejectors, ofwhich the following is a specification.

This invention relates to that class of powder-ejectors for whichLetters Patent of the United States were granted to me January 2, 1883,No. 270,074; and it consists in the novel features of constructionhereinafter described, tending to facilitate the discharge of powderfrom the case.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a longitudinal section of apowder-ejector embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a horizontal sectionthereof on the line as :0, Fig. 1.

Similar letters indicate corresponding parts.

The letter A designates the ejector-case, having a discharge-spout, B,and a flexible base, 0, which is exposed to the action of a spiralspring, D, having a tendency to force it outward to the position shownin Fig. 1, so that this base may be actuated by the thumb for expellingthe powder from the case. The flexible base 0 is provided with twodisks, E F, one on the inner and the other on the outer side thereof,and the outer end of the spiral spring D is connected to the basebymeans of the inner disk, as described in the Letters Patent beforementioned. The spring D is supported in the case A by a cross-bar, G,which is arranged within the case intermediate of its ends to receivethe inner coil of the spring, and by this means I am enabled to use aspring of short length, and at the same time leave the interior of thecase entirely free or unobstructed for a considerable distance inwardfrom the spout B, the tendency of which is to facilitate the dischargeof the powder from the case. The cross-bar G is constructed with holesI, in which the inner coil of the spring is inserted for connecting thespring to the bar; but it is evident that this purpose 5 can beaccomplished in other ways, and in order to offer the least obstructionto the powder discharging from the case the cross-bar is constructed todiverge in the direction of the spout B, as shown in Fig. 1.

If desirable, the cross-bar G may be composed of wire having loops oreyes to receive the end coil of the spring, and such bar may also beenlarged in the center.

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. The combination, substantially as hereinbefore described, with theejector-case having the discharge-spout and flexible base, of the spiralspring acting on the base, and the cross-bar arranged in the caseintermediate of its ends, to receive theinner coil of the spring forsupporting the latter in the case.

2. The combination, substantially as hereinbefore described, with theejector-case hav- 6 ing the discharge-spout and flexible base, of thespiral spring acting on the base, and the cross-bar arranged in the caseintermediate of its ends, and constructed with holes, in which the innercoil of the spring is inserted for connecting the spring to the bar.

3. The combination, substantially as hereinbefore described, with theejector-case having the discharge-spout and flexible base, of the spiralspring acting on the base, and the cross-bar arranged in the caseintermediate of its ends, to receive the inner coil of the spring, andconstructed to diverge in the direction of the spout.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal in thepresence of two subscribing witnesses. JULIUS J AEGER. [L. s.]
